I think that they are in your neck of the woods.
Decent ones start around £30, unplug from the mains, 2 screws at the back of the case to remove, then 4 screws holding the power supply. Make a note of all the connections, and hey presto!
Ignore the cheap value stuff, this is a good one

Ps. DO NOT EVER be tempted to take a power supply apart!!! They hold quite a kick for quite a while after they are switched off!!!!!
